20v urq report..pretty long

[David Eaton]

excellent news - congratulations.

as you say, cambelt, idler and wp should be done.  thermo switch and
after-run pump always a good idea to check, (they both went on mine).
having just replaced the engine mounts (the old ones were fine btw), these
probably only need a look.  also, did you check the codes?

wrt the engine mounts, the fa doesn't show it, but the later engine mounts
still require the associated pieces on the exhaust side which the fa shows
for the wr.  these comprise the large rubberised washer, the rubber cover
and the plastic sleeves for the m10 mounting bolts.  fyi.

hth,
dave

		Fellow listers,

		[snip]
		Now the seller originally wanted 12900 Euros for an original
and non
		accidented car...my friend spoke the price down over the
phone to 11500
		Euros and as I was there to tell everything that was wrong
with the car, we
		reduced it yet to 10150 Euros...not bad for the first 20v
urq I had ever
		seen in my whole life, huh??? :-) the seller didn't know,
nor notice this!
		So we have a little work to make it a good car, the owner
won't be using it
		as a daily-driver (that'd be a pity!) so we have plenty of
time and nothing
		to be hurried about. We'll do the timing belt/WP/idler
roller pretty soon,
		then take care of the caliper and of the rusty part of the
rear-end. Nice
		car to work on during the sunny sundays!

		Sorry for being that long, I thought I had to inform you all
that my street
		now has 2 type 85q coupes in it, one of which being a 20v
(RR) urq!
